Disable Live Tiles all at once in Windows 10 Start menu

Out of the box, Windows 10 allows disabling Live Tiles for pinned Universal apps by right clicking them and choosing the option from the context menu. The user needs to disable Live Tile notifications for every pinned Tile individually. If you want to get rid of Live Tiles for all pinned apps at once and prevent new pinned apps from having Live Tiles, here is a trick which does this job for you.

By default, to disable the Live Tile option for an app in the Start menu of Windows 10, you need to right click it and select More -> Turn live tile off. See the following screenshot: Even with the default setup, there are many Live Tiles in the Start menu. It unnecessarily takes your time and a lot of clicks to disable Live Tiles for each app individually. To save your time, you can apply a Registry tweak which will disable them all at once.

Disable Live Tiles all at once in the Windows 10 Start menu Do it as follows.

On the right side, create a new 32-bit DWORD value named NoTileApplicationNotification. Set its value data to 1 which means disable Live Tiles all at once in the Windows 10 Start menu. Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows, you still need to create a 32-bit DWORD value.
